Our year got started off strong because we had many of the needed materials for the beginning of the year. \r\n\r\nHaving markers and colored pencils ready to go for all students when the year started was such a blessing. So many of my students don't have funds to provide some of these materials, so it was so nice to be able to have them available for all and have enough of them for all to use as well.\r\n\r\nThe Ziploc bags have been so useful for storing math games in for my students. Many of our games use cards or game chips and dice to teach basic number sense and place value skills. Bags to put these materials in are so nice for our kids and they keep our games organized so everyone can find exactly what they need.\r\n\r\nI have been using the small composition notebooks for each student to have their own spelling notebook this year and it has been a game changer. Students are able to try to spell words before they ask for my help, and once they have the correct spelling in their notebook, they don't have to come back and ask for help with it again.

The colored pencils have brought creativity to life in our lessons. We used the Colors of the World pencils to draw our families at the beginning of the year. Students were thrilled to find a color that matched their skin tone. The variety is impressive, and my students felt seen and valued. The globe is a class favorite; it brings a new perspective to our discussions, and we enjoy locating our special places on the globe!\r\n\r\nThe storage containers have brought much-needed organization to our room, providing a home for our supplies. The fan—a simple yet powerful gift—has brought real relief to our classroom, improving comfort, focus, and energy during warm afternoons when the heat can be overwhelming.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has not only provided supplies—it has created a more welcoming, engaging, and effective learning environment. The smiles, focus, and enthusiasm I see in my students each day are a direct reflection of your kindness.","fullyFundedDate":1746787287338,"projectUrl":"project/my-multilingual-learners-are-stars/9269331/","projectTitle":"My Multilingual Learners are Stars!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Becky Amschwand","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9233038_orig.jpg?crop=638,638,x0,y6&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1723395418328","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrsaseldclassroom"},{"teacherId":9233038,"projectId":8613730,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your kindness and support! Our classroom is now filled with amazing new resources, and my students and I couldn't be more excited. The headphones with microphones help students focus during lessons and activities and work perfectly with Chromebooks and iPads. The colorful markers have been a big hit with everyone. They are perfect for creative projects and hands-on activities; we used them to design the Identity Wheel Profiles, which you can see in my slideshow.\r\n\r\nThe world, USA, and outer space maps have opened up new opportunities for students to explore geography and build an understanding of the bigger world that we are a part of. The national flags have sparked curiosity about different cultures and countries. The Mexican flag has been very popular, as many of my students are of Mexican heritage. Thanks to you, my classroom is a place of representation, and it's a place where my students feel honored and valued for who they are!\r\n\r\nI truly appreciate your generosity and the impact you've made on my students.
